An exciting IOERC Webinar Series began on April 12, 2021 with a session that was hosted by our Australian colleagues.

NIH hosted the second webinar, which took place on June 15th. This webinar focused on a critically discussion of social (in)equality and cultural diversity in the outdoors. In the first presentation, Kirsti Pedersen Gurlholt shared her research on social inequality and public innovations to create justness in participation in friluftsliv among children and youth in Oslo. The second presentation addressed perspectives on cultural diversities/similarities and change in friluftsliv within the context of the joint Nordic Master in Outdoor Studies (NIH/USN).

You can now watch the recordings of this webinar on Google Drive.
